Pondview Paradise
Stayed here for 2 nights because we had a wedding at Star Barn. Location was excellent. Was very nice and well stocked with Everything!! Very clean. Really enjoyed having coffee on the front porch. Beautiful pool but we never got out there because of the rains while we were there. There were tornado watches, and Holly even messaged us that if one happened that we could go to their basement with them. Was very private. Would definitely book here again if we were in this area!!!

We had an amazing vacation at Pondview. Everything was so clean it felt like home. The kid's would swim everyday and night. Hershey was right down the street so convenient. Holly would respond to any of our needs within minutes. We will definitely be back again!

Perfect 4th of July weekend
We stayed here over 4th of July weekend. It was close enough to take the kids to Hershey every day (lovely drive through country back roads) and was the perfect place to unwind afterwards when we were hot and tired. The owners have an eye for hospitality. There were extra bathroom toiletries, plenty of towels and a homemade banana bread waiting for our arrival! Everything was labeled so no guessing which switch did what, and parents with little kids will love the supply of plastic cups and plates, along with regular dinnerware in the kitchen. The pool was lovely to come relax in after some super hot days at Hershey (we went in the middle of a heat wave!). It was the perfect spot for a family vacation. We'll definitely be back!

Fantastic!!!
Pondview was positively fantastic! About 20 minutes from Hershey with great local restaurants nearby. Holly & Mike were gracious hosts and quick to respond to inquiries. Our tween girls LOVED the pool (so did we!) and it was great to be able to make breakfast or reheat leftovers in the kitchen. Great extras and surprises - you won’t regret a stay here!

We loved Pondview. It was uber clean and welcoming. The property is absolutely beautiful. There was homemade bread & refreshments when we arrived which made it feel extra special. The fireplace was our favorite amenity! We would definitely return for another stay. They thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.

Winter wonderland
We stumbled upon this listing when booking last minute for a winter wedding. The host was so accommodating, extremely helpful and great with communication. Upon arrival we were met with a welcome basket, a fridge stocked with drinks and a clean comfortable house. This made a perfect getaway for our family of four- perfectly meeting our needs. After picking up a pizza on our way into the rental, we hung out in front of the fireplace in the cozy living room and played a game of uno we found among puzzles and other games and toys located in the living room cabinet. We ventured out in the middle of a snow storm to go to a wedding a few miles away, and the host had the walkway cleared for us, and the driveway cleared and salted upon our return. If you find yourself in the area needing a place to stay, I highly recommend it!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Family Home Base
Loved having a “home base” to host/ feed/ visit with our local family while we were back in the state. Convenient to Masonic Village and located centrally for family all the way from Chester to Dauphin counties. Really appreciated having a relaxing, well-stocked gathering place where we could prepare and serve home-cooked meals while on the road and loved that the baby could roam safely inside. We threw in an unplanned side trip to Chocolate World - this would be a lovely spot for a Hersheypark getaway as well!

Private, Cozy, and Clean
Fabulously accommodating! The pool was sparkling and clean...the perfect addition for our summer stay. The home was as described and located in a lovely neighborhood. Even though this is a guest house attached to a primary residence we never encountered the family and had the pool and grounds to ourselves. There was a bottle of wine and a loaf of delicious homemade chocolate bread waiting for us when we arrived. The place was like new with all modern appliances, furnishings & decor. There are USB ports in the bedrooms and all the creature comforts of home like clean linens & towels, extra blankets, books, games, bean bag chairs etc. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with accoutrements so it truly felt like all we needed to do was show up! In addition to the pool, pond, and fire pit area there is a covered front porch and back deck, both with seating. Honestly, there's no good reason NOT to stay here. It's absolutely perfect! Thank you Mike and Holly. You're doing it right!

The welcome book was great and we tried one of the local pizza places. The hosts thought of everything and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

Like being at home
This property was exactly what we hoped. From the time you walk in the front door you are welcomed with a delicious dark chocolate chip loaf cake. We made our way through each room, finding all the valuable touches such as the first aide kit and the emergency lighting. Extra towels were given for use for the pool, however we didn’t get to use the pool due to weather that was unexpected. The kitchen was WELL STOCKED with various drinks in the fridge. And let’s talk about the appliances that blew us away. Even the smallest of variety of pans, utensils, etc that were here. If you needed it, it was there! The bathroom was beautiful and I want the vanity when I get a house! The bedroom was spacious enough for us both and even came stocked with hangers, shelving and a dresser to make you feel like home! Every things about this place was amazing! Decorations and beautifully laid out. We did do some fishing but we weren’t really prepared. I put my legs in the pool water for a bit and we were hoping to hit it after our event but it ended up raining. It was so warm like bath water I could have stayed in there. Lol. We ate at two of the recommended restaurants in the book Holly set up. Definitely recommend The Whisk at the Masonic Village. Awesome service, excellent food and our server was amazing. Don’t miss this place! This property is definitely one to check out and you won’t regret your stay especially with having access to a pool and pond.
